Oreo Fudge is creamy, sweet, and loaded with chopped Oreos for incredible cookies-and-cream flavor. It’s an straightforward, no-bake recipe and no candy thermometer needed.
Author’s Notes
Why This Oreo Fudge Feels Like My Freshman Year
My mom was pretty strict about candy when I was growing up. We didn’t have it in the house very often, and Halloween was basically the only time we had it in the house.
So of course…I grew up with a giant sweet tooth, haha.
It actually took me until my freshman year of college to try a Cookies ’N’ Creme Hershey’s bar, and I truly thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I was obsessed. The creamy white chocolate with all those Oreo-like pops of chocolate? I could not get enough.
Let’s just say those candy bars deserved an honorary spot on my freshman fifteen roster.
Fast-forward to now and candy isn’t really part of my daily life anymore. But baking? Dessert? Always. So when I made this Oreo Fudge, it took me right back to those college days. It tastes just like that candy bar, only creamier and somehow even better. Honestly the best and easiest fudge I’ve ever made.
Oreo Fudge Ingredients
| Ingredient | Helpful Tip |
|---|---|
| White chocolate chips + butter | Use high quality white chocolate for the creamiest texture and the best flavor. Melt everything low and slow to avoid grainy fudge. |
| Sweetened condensed milk | Make sure it is full-fat and the classic kind, not evaporated milk. |
| Vanilla extract | Adds warmth and depth to the fudge. Stir it in after removing the pan from the heat for maximum flavor. |
| Oreos | No need to remove the filling. Chop the cookies coarsely so you get a mix of big and small pieces throughout. Save a few for sprinkling on top. |
| Salt | A small amount lifts the Oreo fudge’s sweetness and makes the Oreo flavor pop. |
How To Make Oreo Fudge
- Prep the pan: Line a square pan with parchment and leave an overhang.
- Chop cookies: Coarsely chop the Oreos.
- Melt mixture: Warm everything on a low burner, stirring until smooth.
- Add flavor and cookies: Remove from heat, mix in vanilla, fold in Oreos.
- Set the fudge: Spread in the pan, top with crushed cookies, chill until firm, then cut.
Tips For Success
- Use a heavy-bottomed nonstick pan on a low burner to prevent burning
- Prepare Pan: Choose 8×8 for thicker or 9×9 for thinner Oreo fudge; line with parchment or foil.
- Add extra crushed Oreos on top immediately after pouring. Allow time to set.
- Variation: For peppermint flavor, substitute with Mint Oreos and add peppermint extract like this Peppermint Fudge.
Quick Tip
How to Cut Clean Slices: Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water, then wiped dry before each pass. Press straight down instead of sawing. For extra clean edges, chill the fudge well before cutting.
Storage
I like this Oreo Fudge best within 1–2 days of making it since it does start to dry out after that.
To store longer, keep the fudge as a full block instead of cutting it. Wrap the block tightly, put in an airtight bag, and place it in the fridge or freezer for extended storage.
Once cut, tightly wrap individual pieces and store them at room temperature.
